Toke 08 - Ekimmu and Dybbuk

Toke Lore

Sarah and Kiki go back, way back, to the cradle of civilization and see how revenants crossed cultural boundaries and influenced future societies. They’re going to look at the link between the Babylonian Ekimmu/Utukku with the Hebrew Dybbuk and Iburr. Join them in the ancient world filled with spells, demons, and spirits.
